Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a chemical reaction to occur. Higher activation energy means that fewer molecules will have enough energy to react, slowing down the reaction rate. Conversely, lowering the activation energy, often through catalysts, increases the number of successful collisions between reactants, speeding up the reaction progress. Thus, activation energy is a critical factor in determining how quickly a reaction proceeds.
